As in 1885 the tendency has been upward.
The stocks which were lowest on the list at
the beginning of the year wero the ones that
received the greatest proportionate advance.
Reading, for instance, that sold for 19 in
January, reached 81 in November Canada
Southern could be purchased for 3S in JAN

effect of strikes, changes in management,

that retard or increase railroad business, can
be readily traced by those interested.

Speeches and speech makers are so plentiful
these days that those who find time to read
speech of any kind, or who care particularly
to hear one delivered, are few and far be-

an after dinner speech which many who were
not present would have been glad to hear.

The attendance this year was unusually
large, and included many distinguished men
of affairs The list of speakers had been made
out with care, and included men who have
achieved distinction in that line, Chauncey
NJ. Depew, Horace Russell, Gen. William 7.
Sherman, Maj. Gen. Schofield, Congressman
William Walter Phelps and Rev. I. De Witt
Talmage being among the number. There
was one name on the list, however, which
was not very familiar to New Workers. When
President Horace Russell introduced arepre-
sentative of the new SOUTH" and said in his
behalf: "Let us let him feel how welcome hei
is among u.s." Henry W. Grady, Of Atlanta,
arose, and for the first time a southern
speaker had stood before the New England
society. They beheld a smooth faced, medi-
UNI sized, youngish and modest looking man,
who appeared even younger than he was,
following as he did the matured, gray and
staid character of Gen. Sherman, who had
just spoken.
The audience had not long to wait. Mr..
Grady at once landed into his subject, "The
New South" with an ease and grace which at
once showed that he knew what he had to say
and knew how to say it, His style of oratory
was fresh and of the true southern flavor.
The south has always been noted for the
number of its orators, and many of the great
speakers in both houses of congress have come
from that section. This fact is largely due to
its political methods. This fact has given to
oratory an impetus which has been the in
spiration of every college student. Young
men who aspire to literature or the learned
professions have perforce recognized the ad-
vantages of its attainment. This inspiration

so slippery that trains are brought

Clerical After Dinner Takers.

Many entertaining after dinner takers

but one Beecher, TO be sure, but there are
several other ministers in New York and
Brooklyn who enjoy the creature com
forts of public banquet and who can
supplement their feast Of the body with a
1ow of soul that is oftentines rich in
thought and anccdote. There is Robert
COllyer, for instance. he is an enthu-
siastic banqueter. His broad, beni gnant
countenance beams with pleasure from
the time lie dips his spoon into the soup
until he dons his overcoat and hat to 90
home. He is an interesting talkcr and is
always eagerly listened to. His favorite
theme is the nobility OF honest labor, and
be seems never TO tire Of recalling his own
early struggles with poverty when he was
an illitcrate blacksmith.
The courtly Assistant Bishop Henry c..
Potter and the scholarly DR.. Storrs, Of

"Womon who pose rs models have, rs a
rule, poorly shaped feet" said an artist
20 areporter. 'Iftheir feets orc not poorly
shaped they are apt to be out OF proper
tion by being too small. The reason is
obvious. Women are ambitious to have
small feet and hands and at an early age
they begin 10 wear tight shoes. The
result is that their feeC are cramped and
do not grow with the other members of
the BODY. or course there are some pro-
fesSional models who began early in life
and never cr0mped their feet with tight
shoes. T6cy have correct proportions. |
speak generally Of the mass of women
who become models after they are IS years
old. Women imagine if they have small
feet and hands they have all that sneces-
sary 10 give them sh&pely appearance.
A worse mistake was never made Women
who are large should naturally y have large
feet IN proportions; from an artistic point
of view they look better. But you cannot
make them think so.''-New York Mail
